At this moment, the restaurant on the river garden was in an uproar. The exam was already over. Now was the time for the competition's jury to review the exam papers and select the contestants.

All of the participants participating in this year's International Phase Art Competition were gathered in the hotel's banquet hall, waiting for Shen Lingfeng, Li Chade and An Beirongran to announce their final rankings!

Those who were confident in their skills or didn't care much about fame and fortune gathered in groups of two or three to chat. Those who did care about the competition held their magic tools in their hands and wanted to figure out their ranking for the competition.

Lin Bai and Zhang Sanfeng sat in a small corner of the banquet hall, but neither of them went to chat with them. However, these two had honed their character quite a bit in the Maoshan, and their cultivation and qi recovery skills were exceptional. Thus, they did not feel sad or bored at all. Furthermore, everyone in the banquet hall was thinking about their results, so they might as well not talk about it!

Although no one talked to Lin Bai, that did not stop others from talking about him, or from looking at him. With the incident in the hall, Lin Bai's appearance was completely engraved in the hearts of everyone present. At that moment, the majority of the people chatting in the banquet were guessing at Lin Bai's identity.

When Lin Bai had stood up for Shen Lingfeng in the beginning, they had only thought that he was young, angry, and acted recklessly. However, this brat could actually snatch the first place student's name while being surrounded and annihilated by so many people who had displayed their skills, his skills were definitely not simple!

However, the more they tried to find out more about Lin Bai, the more they realized that this young man was not simple. They had all heard of the conflict between the Chinese Master s before the tournament began. However, none of them thought that the person who converted the eight characters into twelve characters would actually be this young man. How could he achieve something so unprecedented at such a young age?!

Furthermore, after some guessing, these people were shocked to realize that this year, there was not a single master in the Longhu Mountains who was able to participate in this competition. The reason for this was also closely linked to this young man. Furthermore, according to the people who knew about it, he had already agreed to organize a committee meeting to invite Ming Shi to join them. However, when he heard that Lin Bai also wanted to participate, he immediately left.

The deeper they went in pursuit of Lin Bai, the more astonished these people became, and the more they looked at him, the more different they felt from before. This young man's cultivation level did not match his age at all, and after going through a lot of research, those who viewed the first place of this competition as their trump card, directly viewed Lin Bai as their strongest opponent!

With regards to those people speculating about him, Lin Bai couldn't be bothered to care about them. The more they understood, the better it was for them. That way, they could save themselves a lot of effort. Sun Zi's military skills were numerous, and not fighting against others was the best strategy! If these people knew about his situation and could obediently withdraw from this competition, it would be the best if they could only leave behind those who coveted him!

"Young man, I heard that you have calculated the eight words to twelve. I wonder if this rumor is true?" Just as Lin Bai was thinking about it with his eyes closed, a bald old man suddenly came over from beside him. This old man had a kind and kind face, with an extremely rosy face, making him look like an immortal, but the gossips in the old man's eyes did not match his appearance!

Although the old man was being wretched, Lin Bai did not dare to underestimate him. To be able to participate in this year's International Phase Art Competition, and daring to wait in the banquet hall, not only were there profound skill level s, but there were also many well-behaved people, which could not be easily judged by their appearances.

For example, Zhang Sanfeng, who was blabbering on and on with a look of infatuation and was surrounded by the group of fat breasted astrologers from the European team, who was taking advantage of the opportunity to eat some tofu, wasn't this old fellow shameless as well? If others saw him, they would think that he was just an old pervert, but Lin Bai was clear of how great his senior brother's attainments were!

Although he was vigilant, Lin Bai still smiled and nodded at the old man, but he did not explain further! After all, if he recklessly showed off in the crowd, it was very likely that others would take him for an act!

"The eight characters are also known as the Life Proficiency Technique, the Four Pillars of Life Arts, and so on. A person's birth year, month, day, and time are marked by the stem and branch of the sky and earth respectively. They are called the annual pillar, the lunar pillar, the day pillar and the time pillar. Each pillar is composed of one stem of the sky and one branch of the earth. He would take the palace of life, embryo, great fortune, small fortune, Fleeting Time, and coordinate with the New Year, Grand Year, Moon Token, and so on.

"From ancient times until now, this old mister has always pushed Ghost Valley's first time to the extreme, and then, it was Guo Pu, Monk's group, Xu Daxian and Liu Bowen. Among these people, the old man worships Liu Bowen the most, has followed old man Huang Shi, then used his own strength to bring the two of them together, and even entered the temple. This was not easy!"

Lin Bai was startled when he heard it, the old man first explained the entire process, then he described the names of the people who were famous with the words, and he even emphasized on the matter of Liu Bowen taking him as his master.

"From ancient times till now, all those who have mastered the art of phase change have to pay respect to master teachers and seek their advice, only then will they be able to shine in the world." The old man said as he looked at Lin Bai.

The more Lin Bai heard, the more he felt that the old man's words did not sound right, and he chuckled at him, "Old man, what plans do you have in mind, don't hide it, just say it directly, don't make it hard for me to guess!"

In fact, Lin Bai could faintly guess what the old man wanted to say next. However, he really didn't understand how shameless this old man was to have such a plan for him!

"As expected, frank and straightforward. It's to my temper!" The old man laughed happily, his face full of wrinkles, and continued: "Young man, your eyes are like torches, I can see that you are a bright man, in the future you will definitely have great achievements in the Department of Photography! It's a pity that without the guidance of a master teacher, you seem to have embarked on a different path. This old man is untalented and wants to take you in as his disciple.

As expected, this old thing had said a lot of things, and his mind was actually planning on this! Although Lin Bai was furious, but seeing the old man's age, it was not good for him to flare up. He smiled: "Old man, I am truly sorry.

"What a pity, what a pity!" Hearing Lin Bai's words, the old man thumped his chest and stamped his feet, showing a painful expression, as he said in a deep voice.

Lin Bai was startled, it seems that this old man was not from China, why did he speak Chinese words so smoothly?

Originally, he wanted to reject Lin Bai, but before he could say anything, Zhang Sanfeng had already scuttled over, blocking in front of him and shouted at the old man: "Pu Youhe, is your skin here itchy to poke at the corner of my master Li Tianyuan's mouth, do you want him to come out from the ground, and imitate how you coaxed him and you into brothers, and give you another slap on the face?"

"So he's senior brother Tian Yuan's disciple. I was wondering how he could have such a strong cultivation base!" Pu Youhe was startled upon hearing this, then continued to shamelessly look at Lin Bai and said, "Brother Tian Yuan and I are brothers and sisters. If you were to become my disciple, if he were to know of this news under the underworld, he will definitely smile and rest in peace.

"Get lost!" Lin Bai was enraged, he slammed on the table and bellowed at the old man. Initially, he thought that this old man had some kind of background, but he never thought that he was actually Li Shunzai's master. These Korean Koreans really did not give up, they wanted to pull him down and turn him into a Korean stick first, then swindle him into their disciple.

Pu Youhe was speechless from Lin Bai's words, he then looked at the people around him looking at him with disdain, and laughed at Lin Bai: "You think about it more, I have news for you!"

"Cut the crap!" Lin Bai's face turned serious as he said in a stern voice: "I am a Chinese in my life, and I will die a Chinese ghost. If you continue to speak, do you believe that I will imitate my master's methods and slap you again with my big ears?! "

Hearing that, Pu Youhe could not help but shrink his neck, as though he was truly afraid of what Lin Bai said, and anxiously walked towards the direction of Korean Mentor.

"Senior Brother, how can you endure this anger? You should make a move and take care of this brat who doesn't know what's good for himself!" The bald middle-aged master from Korea asked as he waited for Pu Youhe to come to his side.

Pu Youhe waved his hand, and said indifferently: "What does a few words count for! When I went there earlier, I wanted to see just what kind of ability that kid had, but I didn't expect that he had a magic tool on him that could stop me from getting involved with the heaven and earth origin energy! As for the matter of exchanging pointers, what's the rush? In a while, there will be reporters watching the match, and there will even be media reporting on it. If you want revenge, then that would be the best time! "

"Senior is truly wonderful. Later on, we will naturally cheer for you from below the stage!" The bald headed middle aged man clenched his fists and glared at Lin Bai as he spoke in a stern voice.

As expected, the older the spicier, the thicker the Koreans. This old fellow's plans were quite smooth. When the true great competition begins, he would naturally provoke Lin Bai, and at that time, his reputation would be spread far and wide, and humiliating Lin Bai would also have more of an impact!

"Everyone, everyone!" Just as these Koreans were plotting their scheme, Shen Lingfeng was holding onto a namelist as he pushed open the door and said to everyone with a smile, "The list of names for the first round has been revealed. Everyone, please listen quietly!"
